Forward Bank
Second $5,000 Touchdown Throw Winner in Owen-Withee
October 16, 2019
Forward Bank sponsored a $5,000 Touchdown Throw on October 11th at the Owen-Withee Blackhawks football game and saw it’s second winner!
The lucky participant, Ryan Gutsch, was selected at random from the crowd to attempt a 15 yard throw into a 32-gallon barrel sitting on the goal line for a chance to win $2,500 for himself and $2,500 for the school's athletic program. It was a cold Friday night, but the crowd erupted with cheers when Ryan's throw sailed effortlessly into the barrel. Ryan is the second winner of the $5,000 Touchdown Throw since it replaced the field goal kick in 2018. Congratulations to Ryan and the Owen-Withee athletic program!
